Harry wins off topic for either category in my opinion although Chuck threatens for style points. Now we need some serious "on topic" contributors -- wit and style optional. |

A Deadly Monster Aboard Your Boat
"JAXAshby" wrote in message ... 300 people die each year by falling off a boat and drowning. If one person a decade dies of CO poisoning on a boat, it is a whole lot less of a worry. Jax, I know you love to argue the pure logic of any point and I would never want to be on a debate opposite you. But now is not the time to nit pick details. CO poisoning is real. Boating happens to have a greater exposure to the risks simply because the enclosed hull can trap the CO. I have known people (personally) that have died of CO poisoning. The best man in my wedding was a single father because his wife died of it. CO kill people, and it is so easily prevented. Please, put aside the arguments on minor details and support the basic concept. Some people have to be told repeatedly before it sinks in. As far as CO detectors, there is one in particular that I would like to recommend to everyone. It is made by Senco Sensors, in Canada: http://www.sencosensors.com/ Most CO detectors are 110 volt operated with a battery backup. Very few have a display that will show you exactly what the level is. The unit from Senco Sensors is the exception. I have had one of these for a number of years and they work great! The battery lasts a year or more and the display is very informative. It will be reading zero, and I will turn the stove on and it will quickly start to register a small amount. Start the engines and it will jump a fair amount. I have taken my CO detector aboard my friend' s boat who swore up and down that they didn't have any worries about CO. They were a bit surprised when the CO readings started reaching up to the 60 ppm. Note that the alarm level isn't until 70 ppm is reached. Rod McInnis |

It is made by Senco Sensors, in Canada: http://www.sencosensors.com/ ========================================= I've had a Senco for 4 years and it's a good unit. We've used it on the boat in the summer, and when we lived north, took it home and used it in the house over the winter. Very reliable. Several times it picked up low levels on our old boat due to "station wagon" effect. Ventilating the cabin would immediately clear the alarm. For a cheaper, battery powered unit, Costco sells a model by First Alert for about $25. |
